Cybertruck's unbreakable windows broken?
Tesla's Cybertruck unvailing was full of surprises, but the most shocking moment was when the lead designer Franz von Holzhausen threw a metal ball onto the car's "Unbreakable glass" windows onstage as they shatter. It wasn’t the result that CEO of the company Elon Musk expected, Musk could be heard murmuring to himself saying “Oh my f***ing god” under his breath before being forced to completely stop his presentation of the car, however, Elon Musk said he knew what had gone wrong, and explained what happened on his Twitter. Right before the metal ball test had been presented, von Holzhausen hit the door with a sledgehammer on the stage to prove that it was durable and it was fine, but Elon Musk says that the impact of the sledgehammer on the door had “cracked base of the glass,” which shows why the windows were subsequently weaker and smashed when hit by the ball. This seems realistic since Elon Musk had shared a slow-motion video of von Holzhausen testing the exact same thing before the presentation, the first time the ball bouncing just bounced off the window. The impacts of the sledgehammer and the first metal ball test might have weakened the glass, making what happened on stage called for. Although there should have been no reason that the back window broke too since they did not do anything prior to the presentation.
